  • What an excellent candidate – and a very small majority to overturn as well

      Looks to be a local lass, who worked hard for the party.

    It is so very exciting to see a Chinese candidate for Labour. I was shocked when I heard there has never been a Chinese MP in the history of parliament. Not least, I only hear great things about Sarah from people and her committment to Labour values and women’s rights. I wish her all the best. Please let Hastings and Rye vote for her and make the first Chinese MP a Labour MP.
